Sugarmade Announces Analysis of BudCars’ Marketing Activities and Expenditures Ahead of Planned BudCars Expansion - Seite 2

BudCars' expected expansion over the next two months is anticipated to open up a regional footprint that may include as many as 20 million new residents with access to BudCars’ cannabis delivery service.

“We are very confident in the ROI associated with spending on BudCars marketing in connection with BudCars’ expansion,” remarked Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade. “We have seen at least a six-to-one multiple in terms of sales relative to marketing expenditure overall, with more than twice the market share and total sales where investments have focused more on cultivating new customers. We believe this bodes well for the marketing approach as BudCars enters the North Bay and LA Metro markets.”
